Rev. Dr. Kwabena Opuni Frimpong, the Executive Director of the Alliance for Christian Advocacy Africa, has proposed a nationwide celebration at the end of the Coronavirus Pandemic to make up for the 2020 Easter celebrations.
The usual church conventions, family get-together, travels and others are not to be witnessed in adherence to the social distancing directives by government due to the outbreak of coronavirus of which in effect has ruined this year’s Easter festivities.
The former General Secretary of the Christian Council of Ghana however feels that after the pandemic takes leave of the world, Christian leaders must in consultation with the Presidency, fix a period for a national celebration to make up for the lost Easter festivities.
“We can decide that for some reason this year, we cannot celebrate Easter on Friday and Monday but we will listen to our leaders and our professionals. But after this, the Christian leaders must come together to do a symbolic celebration. That what we could not do on Easter Friday, what we could not do on Easter Sunday, as a nation, and that one should be done with our leaders, with the office of the President, this is a national, Ghanaian celebration that what we could not do on April 10 and 12, we are doing on this period,” he indicated.
Meanwhile, Christians amidst the coronavirus outbreak celebrated Good Friday, the start of Easter, which marks the sacrifice Jesus Christ made for their salvation on the cross of Calvary through live streaming options, Television, Radio smartphones, and computers.
